Preset References Dialog Box

Locate a block (in the Processing Map) or a control (in the Control palette) that is referenced by a preset. You'll know it is included in a preset if it has the following image beside it:

note: All blocks and controls are referenced by the Baseline preset. The icon shown above does not appear, however, unless the block or control is referenced by an additional preset—a preset created by a user. Note also that this icon can have one of three appearances.

Click the preset icon: The Preset References dialog box opens.

Purpose

The Preset References dialog box pertains to a single block, control, or link. It lists all the presets (in priority order) that reference that block, control, or link. From this dialog box you can:

open a preset's properties dialog box.

view each preset's priority number (in other words, its position in the Active Presets list). If a preset is inactive, it does not display a priority number.

view which presets, if any, have their Scratch Pad enabled.

update the block, control, or link's values stored in one or more of the listed presets.
